A Dothan woman who would see the
cost of her family's healthcare coverage more than double under the Affordable
Car Act was a guest Friday on the Fox News program "On the Record with Greta
Van Susteren."

Allyson Strickland, a
homeschooling mother of four, said she has been notified her health insurance
premiums will increase from $440 a month to $920 a month for comparable
coverage.

Strickland, whose husband works in
the construction industry, said the increase is more than her family can
afford.

"We're not really sure right now
what we're going to do," Strickland said. "Our economic situation and our
family's finances have been extremely tight over the past year and insurance
was just not something I thought I would be concerned with but it's definitely
become an issue for our family.

"We're looking at different
options but frankly, we don't have many options."

Strickland was one of the first
responders to a request by Rep. Martha Roby, R-Montgomery, who asked
constituents to share their experiences related to the Affordable Care Act.
Roby sought the responses on an online form, as well as through social media
and email.

Responses have been pouring in,
Roby said.

"Specific examples of how this law is harming
people in a real way allow me to be a more powerful voice for positive change
in Congress," Roby said.
